1. Sow Indoors: Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost in a well-draining seed-starting mix. Plant seeds ¼ inch deep and lightly press them in.
2. Germination: Keep the soil moist and expect germination in 14–21 days at 65–75°F.
3. Transplanting: Once seedlings have a few leaves, transplant them outdoors after the last frost, spacing plants 12–18 inches apart.
4. Light: Provide full sun for best growth and flavor development.
5. Watering: Water consistently, but ensure the soil is well-drained. Russian tarragon prefers moderately moist conditions.
6. Harvesting: Once the plant is well-established, you can start harvesting the leaves in late spring to summer. Regular harvesting encourages new growth.
Russian Tarragon is a great choice for gardeners looking for a resilient, flavorful herb that can be easily grown from seed and used in a variety of dishes.
